(2) If bovine animals held in an accredited feedlot are to be slaughtered to derive EU export meat and are sold before slaughter, the National Livestock Identification System Database must be updated on the day of the sale to record the new owner of the animals.
> Note: The National Livestock Identification System Database could in 2021 be viewed on the National Livestock Identification System website (https://nlis.com.au).

(a) a consignment of bovine animals that are to be slaughtered to derive EU export meat is transferred from an accredited feedlot to another accredited property or to an EU‑listed establishment; and
(b) no animals in the consignment have been treated with an HGP;
an original EU vendor declaration for each animal must be given to the consignee.
> Note: An EU vendor declaration may be in any form that is approved by the Secretary (see the definition of EU vendor declaration in section 1‑5).
